- Existing install uses database provide with source tarball. The database is also updated on a periodic basis which can vary between a few weeks up to 6 months or so. - The last release was back in Aug 2023 so the database all users will have is quite old. - This patch adds a script into the monthly fcron directory that will run the update-smart-drivedb script from the smartmontools installation. This script downloads the database file via https and also checks the signature of the file to ensure that it has not been changed in any way. The script is run with the -q (quiet) option. The script checks if the downloaded database is corrupted ands will not install it if it is corrupted. It checks if the database has changed since the last version installed on the system. If not changed it does not replace the file. - Tested this out with my production IPFire system and I ended up with the latest database from 3 weeks ago.
